Key Product
- Dimensions: 1200mm (length) x 800mm (width).
- Thickness: 12mm (ideal for matching up flush with standard 12.5mm plasterboard on stud walls).
- Coverage: 0.96m² per individual board.
- Material: High-density, lightweight fibre cement.
Key Applications
- Wet Rooms
- Bathrooms
- Shower Enclosured
Core Benefits & Applications
- Water & Rot Resistant: Will not swell, degrade, warp, or lose structural integrity when exposed to continuous moisture or direct water spray.
- High Weight Capacity: Designed to support heavy porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone wall tiles far better than standard plasterboard.Â
- No Priming Required: Tilers can apply standard cement-based flexible tile adhesives directly onto the rough face of the board without applying a separate primer first.Â
- Installation Tip: Always install the board with the rough side facing out toward you to ensure maximum mechanical grip for your tile adhesive. It is easily cut using the “score and snap” method with a standard utility or tungsten carbide scoring knife
